Chapter 126 Imminent Activation
The two sword sheaths had been waiting impatiently, their eyes wide open, and a soft "humming" sound came from the blades!
"Fine, intermediate level it is. The reason why the Dream Demon did not break through in the evolution process was firstly because it had not yet reached its peak level, and secondly because the evolution stone it used was only of low quality."
Given the current depth of energy fluctuations in the dual sword sheaths, there's still a high probability they can break through to the "Master Level" in one fell swoop!
Just as Lin Ye was about to hand the intermediate-level "Dark Stone" to the Twin Sword Sheaths, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the "Raven Leader" who had already been subdued by Naki!
He then said to the Snow Fairy, "By the way, go ask it where it found the 'Dark Stone'!"
Lin Ye's dedicated translator came online, and after a series of questions in gibberish, returned to tell Lin Ye:
"I found out that these 'Dark Stones' were all found in the cliff caves nearby."
According to the crow leader, many flying Pokémon used to live in this ancient tree, and territorial wars often broke out among them.
During the last clan war, it was chased to the brink of extinction by a leader of large-beaked birds and finally flew into a cave in the mountainside covered by tangled vines in a panic.
It first discovered the cave where these "Dark Stones" were located, and then chose a mid-level "Dark Stone" to complete its evolution.
Then it discovered even stronger energy fluctuations deeper inside and wanted to go in to take a look, but it felt an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation and so it gave up.
Afterwards, it transported the "Dark Stones" from the periphery back little by little, helping all its kin to evolve.
Once the entire flock of Murkrows evolved into Crowmasters, they defeated and drove away all the other Flying Pokémon, and the ancient tree became their independent kingdom.
"I see. According to Crow Leader, there are even stronger energy fluctuations deep inside that cave, and there might be even higher-level 'Dark Stones' there."
Even if there isn't, there's a high probability there will be other incredible treasures. But could the terrifying aura the crow leader mentioned be something beyond the "Gym Master level"? Should I go check it out?
Seeing Lin Ye hesitate, Naqi stepped forward to ask the reason. After learning the reason, she pondered for a moment and said:
"I think I should go and take a look! Although my King Swallow has only recently broken through, it is still a genuine 'master-level' existence."
In addition, the other Pokémon that you and I have together can be equivalent to one or two "Gym Leader-level" Pokémon.
It should be noted that "Master-level" is a very high-end combat force on a global scale. If placed in a small town, it would be enough to become a strategic force.
Even within our Yin Yu lineage, trainers who can cultivate a "Gym Leader" level Pokémon, even if they are from a side branch, can immediately be promoted to family elders!
This is true for all top-tier families as well.
"I see. Even in top-tier elite families, 'Gym Leader' level trainers are highly regarded and considered top-tier combatants."
Therefore, the probability of encountering an opponent who surpasses the "Gym Leader level" on this trip is indeed pitifully small.
Moreover, with a "master-level" expert readily available by their side, they already have a very high chance of success.
"Hmm~, Naki, could you perhaps have the Crow Leader lead the way?"
Naki told the two of them that she was going to tell the crow leader, who was very resistant and kept shaking his head and flapping his wings!
Finally, after Naki took out several "flying gems" and pleaded with her, she reluctantly agreed to lead the way.

The crow landed near a cliffside cave not far from the ancient tree. The cave was covered by vines and tangled branches, which explained why no one had noticed it before. It was also remarkable that it had found the cave in its moment of crisis.
Pushing aside the tangled weeds, Lin Ye entered the cave. The pitch-black environment was filled with a dense, dark energy, and he thought to himself that something was amiss.
Lacking mental strength and night vision, Naki immediately released Charizard, using the flames from its tail for illumination.
The moment the fire-breathing dragon appeared, it lit up the surrounding environment, revealing that the cave was quite spacious, taller than a person, and large enough for three or four people to walk side by side.
With the help of Naki's Charizard providing light and clearing the way, the two quickly ventured deeper until they sensed the powerful aura that the crow leader had mentioned earlier.
Charizard suddenly stopped, its gaze fixed intently on the depths, its eyes filled with obvious apprehension.
Lin Ye had already detected this aura earlier, using his mental power, which was comparable to the peak of a "professional" Pokémon.
"As expected, there is indeed a powerful and profound energy fluctuation within it, and it most likely also possesses superpower attributes. Even Lin Ye's current mental strength was easily suppressed when it touched it, and at the same time, it conveyed the other party's threatening intent, attempting to drive the two of them away."
"So powerful~, at least a 'Gym Master' level existence." Lin Ye was shocked.
Based on the brief contact with its mental energy, he judged that the opponent was definitely the one with the strongest mental power he had ever seen, apart from Daigo's Metagross.
Of course, this power is still far inferior to Steven's Shiny Metagross.
Therefore, Lin Ye judged that the opponent's strength was definitely stronger than Swellow's but far weaker than Steven's Metagross, and was most likely a veteran "Gym Leader level" powerhouse.
Such an opponent is certainly terrifying, but with Naki and me teaming up, we can field a newly promoted "Gym Leader" level Pokémon and about ten experienced "Pro" level Pokémon. We should be fearless in a real battle.
Lin Ye told Naqi what he had sensed, and the latter became more confident, patting her chest and saying that if there really was a high-quality "Dark Stone", she would definitely be able to help Lin Ye obtain it.
Just as the two were about to take a step forward, they suddenly felt the surrounding environment spin violently, and the rock walls began to twist, stretch, and undulate like ocean waves.
"This is psychological intervention; they're warning us!"
Lin Ye used his powerful mental strength to enter the mental illusion first, while Naki's Poké Ball opened on its own, and a Nargacuga appeared and used its psychic powers to help Naki dispel the interference of this mental energy.
"How terrifying! I almost fell for it. I'll teach it a lesson it won't forget!" Naki's eyes flashed with malice.
Sensing that the two ignored the warning and continued to approach, the mental interference simply disappeared, replaced by a chilling killing intent.
"It seems the other side is prepared for a fight to the death; we need to be careful."
Faced with an unknown and powerful enemy, the two dared not be careless and immediately released all the Pokémon they had!
Zoroark, Froslass, Twin Blade Scabbard, Decidueye, Azure Blade Demon, Mimikyu, Haunter, and Darktail all emerged from their shadows and guarded around Lin Ye.
On Naki's side, Skarmory, Tropius, Noctowl, Natu, Charizard, Gliscor, Noivern, Crow's Head, Red Gyarados, and the ace "Gym Leader" Shiny Swellow, a total of ten Pokémon were all ready for battle.
For a moment, the combined aura of the dozen or so Pokémon on Lin Ye's side actually suppressed the aura of the powerful Pokémon deep inside.
